Vivian Edwards

born: 25 March 1896 Los Angeles, California, United States of America

died: 01 November 1983 Contra Costa County, California, United States of America (age 87)

Tall, brunette American silent screen actress, who often appeared with Charles Chaplin at Keystone. She was born to Alma (Floyd) and Henry S. Smith (m. 4 March 1895); on 8 August 1908, Alma remarried to Thomas Garvin Edwards, though they divorced before 1920. After a fairly steady screen career in comedy shorts for Keystone and Triangle from 1914 to 1917, she worked as a stenographer. On New Year's Day 1921, she married oil well worker Clyde Allen Shrode (1894-1970), with whom she had a son, Allen D. Shrode (b. 1924). The really useful, never wrong (note sarcasm) IMDb currently has a birth date and death information applying to a Russian-born woman who married Bryan Foy, film producer, executive producer of The Dancing Masters and The Bullfighters, and older brother of Eddie Foy Jr..
